5s Player Tier List - February 2018

5s Player Tier List - February 2018

My ICO account name is letsrock, and recently I started to play Sins again. I'm really enjoying it as the big patch last year has made the game more stable.

As I cap sometimes (to get games going if no one wants to cap), I created a 5s player tier list, based on how people pick, so I can pick more accurately. And I'd like to share it here. There are 4 main tiers: Tier 1 (Top Pick), Tier 2 (High Pick), Tier 3 (Mid Pick) and Tier 4 (Low Pick) plus some special Tiers: Tier 1.5 (Almost Top Pick) and Tier 2.5 (Higher Mid Pick).

Note that I haven't seen many old-timers recently, but will add them to the list if they are back.

Below is the Tier List. In each tier, player names are sorted alphabetically.

The players in the same tier are not meant to be completely equal in skills, just that the skill difference of the ones in the same tier is less than the ones between different tiers. Also I wanted to avoid creating too many tiers as it will make it even more error-prone.

To your specific points:

xwing always gets picked before you

UNSC and MJ are a bit rusty as they haven't played much recently.

I haven't seen much of Sugar recently either

I agree that you would get picked before Barb, but Barb would get picked before the ones in Tier 3 so I'm not sure.
